POSSIBLE HOLY WELL: ST. PATRICK'S WELL in Feigh Alias Dunseverick

POSSIBLE HOLY WELL: ST. PATRICK'S WELL

What is recorded here

St. Patrick's Well in Feigh, County Antrim, remains a possible holy site rather than a proven miracle, leaving room for imagination about the water it once gave. The uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation: someone may have knelt at that spot, drank, and lived half-remembered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POSSIBLE HOLY WELL: ST. PATRICK'S WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with the 5th-century Christianization of Ireland and may have been a site of early pilgrimage or prayer. While specific cures or rituals are not recorded, such wells were often believed to possess healing properties and were sites of seasonal or votive offerings in Celtic Christian tradition.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
